The Escogido baseball club delighted their fans by winning 21 to 2 runs against the Licey Tigers at the Quisqueya Ball Park. The Escogido set a new record of 18 homeruns in the sixth inning, breaking a former record held by the Tigres del Licey, who earned 13 runs against the Estrellas in 1954.
This is the third straight victory for the Escogido, now reinforced by stellar players from the US, namely Neifi Perez, Enrique Wilson and Wilton Veras, as well as others. The Escogido hope to qualify for the all-important fourth place spot, which would qualify them for the round robin games in January. They are currently in fifth place with the regular season at its halfway mark. The Aguilas are in the lead (21 wins and 8 losses), followed by Licey (16-13), the Gigantes (15-14), the Estrellas (13-16), the Escogido (12-17) and the Azucareros (10-19).
